Netflix Invents New Green Screen Keying Method
Netflix Invents New Green Screen Keying Method
Using red and blue light on the subject as well as a self-developed AI tool makes keying a green screen easier, according to Netflix.
Well, Netflix Labs, thanks for playing, we some lovely parting gifts for you.
Since the days of film there's been a means of placing actors in front of other backgrounds, from the chemical process up to today, where with a piece of properly lit green material and easily obtainable software, everybody has greenscreen tech at their fingertips. A few basic rules (don't wear green, light the scene properly, etc.) and you're golden.
Now AI must play an unnecessary part in this...? Why? Yeah, the bottle and the hair look nice but that wasn't unobtainable before this. Throwing out and recreating data (color channels) unneccesarily? This process borders on being Rube Goldberg-like. Am I missing something here?
yeah, i get the same feeling. seems like netflix trying to jump on the ai bandwagon.... how are scenes lit decently if they are just magenta and the ai does the rest? especially because compared to traditional greenscreen and/or virtual production it doesn't really solve any problems... except for the inlusion of ai
